From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Hey, sorry for going dark for the past year; I've been busy with university work. The image is from ArtStation, a replacement for CGHub after it was abruptly brought down. There are quite a few H2A concepts and renders there; as I have an exam coming up next week, I'll leave it to you to upload them to Halopedia.
Hey, I see that you are on right now. Why haven't you been getting any of my previous messages?
Hey, buddy! You there? Are you not getting any of my messages? I could really use some help sometime soon! Some of them have been taken care of, but there are others that I still need help obtaining.
Hey, have you set aside some time for taking those screenshots I asked for, the ones from Halo: Reach (like the profile screenshot of the Focus Rifle) and the ones from Halo 4. And whenever you can, try to do some about Halo 3 screenshots.
Hey, not to sound rude or anything, but it's been quite a few days that have passed now. I know that the end of the school semester is coming up very soon, so I'm hoping you'll find the time to obtain some of those screenshots I'm looking for, some from Halo: Reach, and some from Halo 4. Don't worry about the Mantis, Spartacus is already on that. So when you have the time and have taken those screenshots, please do let me know, okay? Thanks.
Hey, you said you'd try to get a few screenshots in the next few days. What's up?
While you're at it, could you also get a couple screenshots of a portable jump-jet pack in its active and inactive states from Halo: Reach. Please don't forget the profile screenshot of the Focus Rifle too! Just get me those three screenshots, and that's all I need from you. Thanks!
Just let me know when you have those screenshots, and also the profile screenshot of the Focus Rifle.
Just finished with exam season, sorry. I'll try to take some new screenshots within the next few days.
Hey, buddy! You there? What's keeping you? Didn't you get my last message?
Hey, kinda wondering, would you mind getting me an in-game profile screenshot of the Focus Rifle in Halo: Reach? It would be nice to have a much bigger image of the weapon for the article. Will you help?
Hey, I've updated my list of wanted images, and there is one new request for a large side view screenshot of the Focus Rifle, and also some requests for screenshots from Halo 4 in multiplayer and in Forge World, if possible for you to do, if that's okay.
Yeah, I'm still working on those two. The UNSC logo I should think would be pretty easy to get done once I get to it, but the ONI logo I'm having some slight trouble with. Not to worry though, I will figure a way to fix it. One way I'm thinking of fixing it is by somehow creating a near-perfect replication of the ONI logo, that is, until I can find my Adobe Illustrator somewhere in my room or in my desk.
Didn't really "thought it up"; I took it from a book I read once. On another note, I've finally found the FUD soundtrack. While a separate download of the 26-track OST is unavailable, the Blu-ray edition has an "isolated score" music player. The tracks have been ripped and posted on YouTube; feel free to listen and download here.
One last thing: I uploaded the post-war UNSC and ONI logos for you a few months ago, but there's still no transparent cutout yet. Are you having trouble with those two?
You gonna make a change on the forum for how you thought it up? Go to my userpage to find the link if you want to change it and/or add to it.
Yeah, to match my LIVE gamertag.
You changed your username from Kronos101 to Pantegral?
The concept art's from a dozen different artists; a simple search for "halo" on CGHub would return an exhaustive list. By the way, I found a higher-res version of the Cortana render here; could you create a new transparent version?
You mind giving me the link to CGHub for the Halo 4 concept art?
Well, I think I myself may have a little OCD too. Meaning my damned perfectionist tendencies. So you're not alone. So, no hard feelings. :-)
Fair enough. Apologies for bothering you over such a small matter; my OCD tendencies are showing. Hope you weren't too annoyed.
No, nothing wrong with it. Just wondering if you knew. I still have a few screenshots I need from Halo: Reach on my user talk page. And as for the part about image size resolution, I'd really like to just drop the matter. I understand it all, but I wish not to talk about it any further.
As I said, it was never about the monitor resolution; it was about the source's quality. A 1280x720 screencap is exactly the same as a 1920x1080 screencap when they come from the same video file. It's a common misconception that a higher resolution automatically means higher quality - I made the same mistake with my first Anniversary screencaps.
For example, the old version of this image is higher-res, but the latter is of higher quality (the flag is much clearer) because I used a different source. I'm suprised that you couldn't notice the differences - the asteroids in front of the Halo (for the terminal image) and the Autumn's engine (the HCEA one) have less well-defined edges, and the background's color tone is washed out. The "fins" of the Autumn's main engines have four distinctive ridges each in the old revision; they are almost blended into the fin in the current one. Note that the new HCEA images are 300KB smaller than my version, despite being nominally higher-res.
P.S. The Sequence Group is the studio responsible for creating the HCEA and Halo 4 terminals; there's an article on them right here. The Reach file share is still there, yes; is there something wrong with it?
Forgot to add: While I didn't change my mind about the other two, I did just revert the two HCEA terminal images back. No hard feelings. :-)
